What is the difference and mass between a feather and a brick?

a feather is light weight and a brick is heavy wight i know this because you hold a brick you may fall with it you hold a feather it light very light and you do not fall so the answer is THE BRICKS MASS IS LARGER THAN SHORT MASS OF A FEATHER SO BRICK IS HEAVER AND FEATHER IS LIGHTER. NO other way to prove it right so there your answer by makayla thx please vote good


Explain why a brick and a feather fall in different speed?

A brick falls faster than a feather due to differences in mass and air resistance. The brick has more mass, so gravity exerts a greater force on it, causing it to accelerate faster. Additionally, the feather experiences more air resistance due to its larger surface area, slowing its descent.


Does speed have to do with inertia?

Yes. Inertia is what holds an object in motion from falling faster than the object falling at the same time. Say you have a brick and a feather. Which falls faster? Neither. You see, inertia contributes with the third law of motion, meaning an object at rest will stay at rest until a net zero force acts upon it. Meaning that inertia is that net zero force keeping that object at rest still. Now, if you dropped a brick off of the building at the same time as the feather, inertia would keep the brick from falling faster than the feather because of its speed. Gravity is pulling the object toward earth and inertia is holding it back. Same for the feather except theres less inertia because of the weight of the feather.More Speed= More inertia. Keep that in mind.


Which one would touch the ground first in a vacumn a brick or a feather?

In a vacuum, both a brick and a feather would fall at the same rate and touch the ground at the same time because there is no air resistance to slow them down. This is because in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their masses.

A feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because of?

because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravityA feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down

Will a car and a hat falling at the same height hit the ground at the same time?

no unless in a totally controlled condition because a feather falls slower than a brick air resistance and many other factors are taken into affect it can also depend on the weight of the hat, and the angle of the hat when dropped.

A feather falls through the air more slowly than a brick because of?

If you dropped them in a vacuum, they would fall at the same rate. However, when you do it in air, the friction from the air will slow the feather considerably, as the surface area to mass is much greater then that of the brick.


What reason might the Greeks have had not to question the evidence that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects?

The reason that the greeks might not have had any questions to the evidence that hevier objects fall faster than light objects is because they would be questioning statistics which is that heavier objects and lighter objects do not fall at different rates but at the same its just the pending on the weight ex. a brick and a feather you drop a brick it falls quick beacuse of its weight and a feather because of it's weight it falls alot slower but at the measuerment of the objects falling quicker than the other they don't its irrelevent.
